   This is way past time for a reply but maybe someone will find it and it be   
   of help to them   
   Recommend going with linksys rv042. Have 2 of those doing a site to site vpn   
   for a client between 2 offices. They have dsl on both ends. It has worked   
   for months without a hitch with their unix server. They have been down twice   
   and it was internet related.When the internet was back up so was their vpn   
   with no interaction from either us or them. As far as wireless is concerned   
   put in access points in both locations
